Every time I go to delete a file, it comes back once I close the app!!!! Needs to be fixed because it’s a pain in the butt and it’s clogging up all my memory on my device! Other than that great app, would use it more if it weren’t for this issue!

This app is really cute, but there are a few bugs etc. that should be worked out. whenever i export a photo to “save photo” (camera roll), the app crashes. also, there needs to be some way to easily understand the size of the canvas you’re working on. i know it’s pixelated, but whenever i get into the single pixel line drawings, they export SO small. it would be nice to work with vector resizing instead, so you can get that really nice single pixel look, and then resize your drawing so you can have a high quality image.
